Brooklyn, NY, United States
The Software Engineer: Java Search and Data
Infrastructure will work with a team to optimize search and mine data to
make the Etsy experience better for our members.

our search and data infrastructure team. You should love search and big
data, especially in the context of solving large-scale, real-world
problems.
This full-time position is based in Brooklyn, NY.
About the Team
The technical staff at Etsy believes that code is craft, good software and systems designs are works of art, and that the work we do is part of larger creative culture represented by the hundreds of thousands of inspired makers who make Etsy such a wondrous marketplace.
We believe that small, empowered, self-motivated teams can do big things. We also believe in the right tool for the job, not language-as-religion. Our current systems run PHP, Java, Python, Ruby, Solr/Lucene, Postgres, MySQL, and more.

About the Job
Etsy has amazingly interesting and fun data. No really. We not only have millions of items and members, but we have shops, treasuries, blog posts, etc. We have a curated taxonomy as well as mountains of user generated tags.
Our data provides no shortage of fuel for innovation and we are currently looking for an engineer that will be excited by our search environment and the challenges that are inherent to such a unique data set.
Responsibilities:
If you're interested in joining the team at Etsy, please send a cover letter along with your resume telling us what inspires you about Etsy and why you think you are perfect for the team (resumes without a cover letter will not be considered).
If you contribute to an open source project, write a blog, or practice another craft besides software engineering, that means something to us, we’d love to hear about it.
